Thanks hamlette and same to you hopefully we'll join that thread together and never come back to the 180's … Get you some good snacks so that the snacking isn't bad salty or sugary snacks. We will do this
I'm gonna hang around here until I'm sure this is real. I see good numbers change my ticker and boom. I am back to 184, so I will not move until my body shows me the "7" for a couple more days.
I realized one thing two days ago ... I've been so busy lately that I've been eating a lot of frozen meals. Yes, I've been within my calories and I've stuck with ones that are more vegetarian oriented, but gosh knows how much sodium is in them. So I cut back on packaged food, and not only did the weight start drifting down again, but my hunger and food cravings also dropped dramatically.
Unfortunately, I leave the country at the end of the week and I'm switching to maintenance. Thus I don't expect or plan for any weight loss until January. I will stick check in, but I won't be leaving the 180s for a while.
The other thing that has been going on is dramatic improvement in my skin. The crease under my pot belly is almost gone ... it's only about two inches long now, and not very distinct. I spot checked my measurements and there are some changes there too. So if this past month was slow because my body needed time to adjust, I'll take it.
Sorry to see so many people leaving here ... oh who am I kidding, I'm so excited for you guys!!!!
tefrey, for you Not sure how long you have been without the frozen meals but you never know you may be in the 170's by the weekend once all of the sodium leaves. for you.
I weighed in today at 178.6 up .4 from yesterday. Hoping this will last and I can move to the 170's and stay
I did it!!! Still two days till the wedding and im at 178.6 today, two days in a row with yesterday being 179.3!!!! i made it under 180 for the wedding,, yayyyyyy,,, this also puts me out of the "obese" category and into over weight and thus another mini goal achieved ,,,, it also marks my 60 lbs lost and i get another dancing carrot!!!! off to the 170's thread and cant wait for you all to join me there!!!
Thanks lovetobe150! Technically I'm only supposed to be weighing myself once a week so I won't know if I am under 180 before I leave ... but I've totally been sneaking onto the scale anyway, and I'm under 181, hee hee.
I'll do an official weigh in the morning I leave ... but that will be at 3:30 AM so it's a non-standard time.
Got a FitBit for the trip, since I will be hiking around and not going to the gym. Love it already!
I've not been here in a while but 188 seems to be my official number...can't believe I made it here but taking my blessing. Gonna keep pushin to the 170s.
